It didn't take long for Austin to wrap his arms around me. He didn't cry or anything but he was nearly there. He needed this hug and I wasn't one to deny anything from him.

"Well maybe we could talk some more and actually get to know each other if that's okay with you." He shyly stated.

"That would be nice." I smiled

"But do you have to leave now? I'm actually enjoying this."He smirked while scratching the back of his neck.

"No. I've got two hours before I take my braces off,"

"Ha! I've had braces before, I took them off a while ago. Say Emma are you going to the dance with anyone or are you not going?" He stammered

"I thought about going with Katie but I may not why?"

"Just a question.."

I stared into his eyes longing for some eye contact,this was the day I waited for its like I jumped a whole year with this guy. I wondered why he's being so nice to me. Why he hasn't kicked me out yet and why he asked me if I could stay. These thoughts flustered my mind.

"So,are you close to your stepmom?" He asked, breaking the silence once more.

"Hell no she hates me." I laughed

"Why would she hate someone as nice as you?"

"Because she's an attention whore that's why" I blushed

Austin smiled feeling my pain. Honestly I didn't think this would be the way we actually would talk. He's a very nice guy,but maybe he's being nice because Im his neighbor.

"You know you're the only girl that hasn't tried to make a move on me" he bit his lip, looking in another direction.

"Really, don't get me wrong you're pretty attractive I don't see why girls wouldn't be hitting on you" I smirked

"Oh really,I'm attractive?"

"Yes you are" I took a step closer to him watching his height tower over me.

"Prove it" he dared, I could smell his minty breath.

"No way! I just met you remember?" I punched his surprisingly hard chest.

"You met me four years ago remember." He mimicked my voice.

I chuckle enjoying every moment of this.

"Tell you what I'll take you to the fair tomorrow ,and we can catch up from where we never started?" he said getting in my face

"Sure" I replied

I walked out of his room limping a little bit. Then he stopped me once more. Picking me up bridal style again taking me downstairs to the front door. I told him thanks for everything before, he kissed me on the cheek.

This boy he just met me officially. He's got to like me for him to do that already. It was too quick,I don't want to rush things. What am I talking about? We aren't even a thing. Okay I'll go to the fair with him tomorrow I just gotta make sure he doesn't kiss me on my lips or my face......as good as it felt. He asked me about the dance what was that! I feel so lucky right now. Austin actually likes me the girl who over thinks things. I didn't stay for the extra two hours but man I enjoyed my time with him.

As I entered my house the smell of pinecones filled my nostrils. Now that I think of it my stepmom should change the scent due to the fact that it was the end of spring.

Then again I don't talk to her much.. I shuffled up the stairs to find my room door opened. My stepmom left me a note on my desk. She wouldn't be here by 4:30. Okay. She should be here soon I checked my clock it was now 4:15.

I heard my doorbell ring. I rushed downstairs while putting my hair in a ponytail. I opened the door too see Austin's smiling face.

"Yess?" I cooed

"I'm sorry for kissing you, it wasn't right for me to do that,but do you still want to go to the fair, I would really love if you would?" I put my finger on his lips to stop him from mumbling.

"Well I'm not mad you kissed me...not at all" I laughed. "But yes I still want to go to the fair with you" I smiled making rings around the doorknob with my index finger.

"Okay I didn't want to move fast with our friendship or whatever we are"

"Austin do me a favor and stop talking so fast"

"I'm sorry, it's just you're .....oh I knew I had to ask you something. Uh can I have your number?"he stuttered

"Yeah give me your phone." I held my hand out.

He handed me his phone which looked exactly like mine. Okay now I had to be dreaming, this is not really happening is it? He kissed me then said sorry then asked for my phone number. Like what the hell? I had to be dreaming.

"Here you go." I handed him his phone back. I then proceeded to hug him, honestly I don't know why I did that. Not even my hormones were telling me to do this I guess it was just my heart.

"Emma?" He asked wondering why I did my recent action. My face was now to his chest and I could hear his heartbeat picking up its pace.

"You're a good listener that's all." I smiled embracing him. He smelled good like a man model good. I think this will be nice now I can actually have a guy friend. I pulled away from him slowly, looking into his eyes as we parted, he then told me goodbye with a shy smile. I always wondered about him. He always went to parties and probably has girls all over him.

I wonder if he's had sex before? I've heard roomers about it. Cecilia talks about it all the time how they had sex but....No I'm not gonna judge him, I don't even know if he really did have sex with her. I don't really want to get into the subject anyways. Why am I even thinking about it? Emma! Are you jealous?!. Let me just stop.

I went up to my bedroom again to think about what happened today. Then I remembered to text Katie. I pulled my phone out my pocket. She had already spammed me,I answered her back telling her I was okay and all the recent things that happened. She told me he likes me but, I find it suspicious that he would warm up to me already. Or maybe he actually does like me?

The thought that he might actually like me sent tingles up and down my body. I heard my stepmom downstairs calling me.

I know it's too early to change my look especially that I had the whole summer to do that. But now I'm taking my braces off,and I had money to find myself a new wardrobe. I could be more confident than before ,and actually be a better, more likeable person.

I walked downstairs showing my new confidence already. My stepmom told me to get to get the car and wait for her. I wonder if she would let me go shopping. As she got into the car she slipped on her sun glasses. She then turned the key and we were off to the dentist. My life changers. Why am I so dramatic?
